Teacher's Guide 2014 With Anwers (Akan Upload Portal JPN Pada 20.5.2014)

This document provides guidance for a mathematics project involving arithmetic and geometric progressions. It outlines 4 assignments that explore properties of progressions through graphing, calculations, and conjectures. Assignment 1 involves finding the 16th term of an arithmetic progression and comparing total payments. Assignment 2 compares monthly salaries in an arithmetic vs geometric progression. Assignment 3 verifies conjectures about yearly salary increments forming an arithmetic progression through graphing. Assignment 4 explores the Fibonacci sequence, the golden ratio, and constructing rectangles with sides in the golden ratio.
